The Soccer War: Kapuscinski continues traveling

As we keep on reading the book, we see that Ryzard Kapuscinski is the complete opposite person of a hard working business man which deals with problems and "wars" in an office. The author is tired of this work and decides to head for another trip, but this time to Central Asia.

As he returened to Warsaw, he decided to head to Latin America and first stop Santiago de Chile. In this specific part of the book, the author seems to be completely desorientaded and naive becasue he didn´t imagine that this place and situation would be any similar as the one he was living at. "In this way I discovered a world I had never Known it had existed. The Owners of these furnished apartments were aged ladies, widows, divorcèes and old maids in slippers, bonnets and furs" (pg. 149). Its great how he describes this place and how it´s easy to imagine and compare this with europe. It is a developing country and Kapuscinski is completely used to this, but in a more drastic way. He continues to travel all around Latin America and experiences many of latin american culture. "If there is a jungle, it has to be enormous (the Amazon); if there are mountains, they have to be gigantic (the Andes); if there is a plain, it has to be endless (the Pampas); if there is a river, it has to be the biggest (the Amazon)." (pg. 151). He continues to ravel around all of Latin America but still we don´t know what for. It´s intriguing what Kapuscinski might be doing in America. I can´t wait to see.
